The National Institute of Health, Gerontology Building required an assessment of the building façade and roof.

O&S Associates performed a survey of the building exterior and the roofs and developed a repair program for the façade/roof.

O&S prepared repair drawings and technical specifications and made periodic observations of construction.

The restoration of the exterior façade was comprised of repair of delaminated concrete on the façade and parapet walls, sealing of all expansion joints, caulking of all window perimeters and coating of the entire concrete façade with new waterproof coating, replacement of cracked and deteriorated brick masonry, the addition of epoxy grouted masonry ties, tuck-pointing of deteriorated mortar joints, caulking of selected windows and installation of temporary sidewalk protection/bridge.
